Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is usually situated on the front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon opening
either the main or top oven door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be
found on the back or top of some models
(where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
The rating of the appliance is given on the
rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the
appliance as this may invalidate the
guarantee.
Preparing to use your appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the
furniture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum
temperature, to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. Accessible parts may become
hotter than in normal use. Children should be
kept away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow
some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance when
opening the door(s) to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool
surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g.
a trim, it will condense and produce water
droplets. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe
away condensation and foodstuff from
surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.
Cookware
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x
30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect
performance.

use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and
of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to stand
in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food
is not to be consumed immediately. Always ensure
food in the oven has been covered before cooking if it
is not possible to remove food immediately after
cooking.
13
The hob
The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use
pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the
burner size used.
The largest pan, which you should use on any
burner, is 230mm (9") and the smallest pan
should not measure less than 100mm (4").
WARNING!
Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted
before using the hob.

WARNING!
If you close the lid of the appliance while any
of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas will go
out. This is because it would be dangerous
if the burners stayed on when the lid was
closed.
WARNING!
Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas when
the lid is closed. The gas will flow again
when the lid is opened.
WARNING!
When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit
before you leave the appliance.
When turning off a burner, ensure the flame
has gone out before leaving the appliance.
Things to note

burner turn all the hob controls off and make
sure the burner parts have been replaced
correctly.
Hints and tips
Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
Do not use pans with very heavy handles,
which cause the pan to tip.
The hob surface should be allowed to cool
before closing the lid.
WARNING!
Place pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pans so the handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or overhang the
appliance. Lift pans on and off the pan
supports. Do not slide them across the hob
.
Any spillage should be removed from the lid
before opening.
Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob
or removable parts. The spillage should be
wiped up and the parts washed and carefully
dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and
burner parts are cool enough to touch.
A flat-based Wok will stand stable on the pan
supports. If you use a round Wok with a
collar support, the collar must be the open
wirework type otherwise the performance of
the burner will be affected.
WARNING!
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when
reaching across the hotplate.
WARNING!
Take extra care when deep fat frying, do not
cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan
unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it
where it is and turn off all controls. Place a
damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Never put water on the
fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes.
WARNING!
Do not use the lid as a work surface or
chopping board. This could damage the
glass and reduce it’s strength.
IMPORTANT!
Do not allow hot pans or baking trays to
touch the controls as damage may occur.
WARNING!

Hints and tips
Most foods should be placed on the grid in
the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of
air to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position
to allow for different thicknesses of food.
Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or
melted butter to keep them moist during
cooking.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.
When toasting bread use the shelf in position
1 with the grid in the high position.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.
The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.

18
The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It
is designed for cooking smaller quantities of
food. Place single dishes on the centre of the
shelf
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the top oven when you want to warm
plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven
temperature control.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we
recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated
first. For best results when cooking frozen or
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
Using the top oven
Fully open the door before lighting the top oven.
Do not close the door until the burner is showing large flames.
To turn the top oven off
Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a 0.
When the burner has lit release the button.
There will only be small flames at first, adjust
the setting as required
IMPORTANT!
Push in and hold the
control knob, turn the
knob to the highest
setting.
Press the ignition
button immediately.
Keep the control knob
depressed for up to 5
seconds but no longer
than 10 seconds.
When the burner has lit release the control and
ignition button, adjust the setting as required.
If after 10 seconds the burner has not lit, stop
operating the appliance and wait for at least 1
minute before attempting a further ignition of the
burner.
19
Things to note
The cooling fan for the controls may
operate after a time.
WARNING!
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly
on the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.
To fit the top oven shelf
Only use the shelf with the large solid metal
plate at the rear of the shelf in the top oven.
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the
anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be
affected.
Hints and tips
Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven on.
Shelf positions are counted from the top
downwards.
1
2
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around
the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
Do not push dishes too far back as food
will burn if it overhangs the burner flame
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking
tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto
the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray
and dishes used affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the
heat away and give less base browning.
Do not place baking trays directly on the
oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning;
use the lower shelf position.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a pre-heated oven.
WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
20
The main oven
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven. The
temperature in the middle is the gas mark you
have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly
hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The
base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can
make use of these heat zones when you are
cooking foods requiring different temperatures
all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar
items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the
trays during cooking or you can remove the top
tray when the food is cooked and move the
lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we
recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated
first. For best results when cooking frozen or
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you
until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at
the front so that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Using the main oven
Fully open the door before lighting the main oven.
Push in the control
knob and turn it to gas
mark 9.
When the burner has
lit release the
control knob.
There will only be
small flames at first.
When the burner is
showing large flames,
adjust the setting as
required.
IMPORTANT!
Do not close the door
until the burner is
showing large flames.
To ensure optimal performance when
cooking convenience foods, pizza or
frozen and chilled ready meals, always
preheat the oven first.
